We just moved and decided that we needed some masonry work done. It was a big task, and I decided…read moreto contact City Suburb for a quote to do the work. Ravi picked up and we set an appointment which he arrived to on time. Ravi was considerate and professional, making some great suggestions in the process. Ravi's crew is comprised of some of the nicest people I've ever met. Everyone showed up on time, the work began when Ravi said it would, and the work was completed on the end date we agreed upon at the start. When all work was completed, a thorough clean up was done. Also, as a considerate bonus to us, Ravi gave us the remaining waterproof paint used to seal the cement wall that was built. It was very nice to have experienced doing work with City Suburb, because when you've got people doing a pro job it makes life much less stressful. I've already passed the City Suburb contact information on to a friend who liked the work we had done, and I'm likely going to be calling Ravi back soon to do more work for us.

The team was professional, and Ravi was available to connect throughout the process.

We hired him for a project to replace an aging back deck, install a new back door, and add an awning. From the first consultation, John stood out for his professionalism and honesty. His recommendations weren't the most expensive -- they were practical and clearly based on our needs, not upselling. Throughout the project, his communication was excellent. He was responsive, clear, and personally oversaw all the subcontractors, ensuring everything was done right. The workmanship was solid and the attention to detail shows. The project was completed on time and exactly as promised. We're very pleased with the results -- see the photos!

Recent but long overdue masonry work now required new wrought iron railings and it was mind…read moreboggling with the sheer number of wrought iron contractors locate in the NYC area. Sure, many of the newer style railings were gaudy stainless steel tubular varieties but we wanted a traditional black wrought iron railing to compliment both the newly tiled outside porch and masonry stairs. Usual headaches encountered running from real pushy contractors exacerbated by prices running from absurdly cheap to real cost prohibitive quotes. Wife ultimately got a half dozen quotes along with vendors who had impeccable reviews. We selected Mack Iron Works and German who not only provided a very decent price quote but a overview of a typical installation and how they would go about the installation process. What was reassuring to us was the fact German was not only extremely patient in answering all our concerns but made options for a trouble-free install. Yelp reviews posted from earlier customers gave us confidence Mack Iron Works was not only in business for quite some time but had a reliable record of very satisfied customers. Installation was completed in less than 3 weeks after contract signing. The arc welds were perfect .... continuous bead of weld and perfectly grinded to match adjoining sections. Hydraulic cement used for those posts where it was more advantageous over lag bolts and anchors. Very detail oriented crew of workers who not only touched up the factory painted rails with additional coats of oil based enamel but caulking at each base to insure longevity. German was onsite throughout the install. Wife extremely happy with her new wrought iron railing and the appearance of these new railing are simply amazing ...fit, finish, and cleanup after the install were all top notch. Could we have gotten the work cheaper? ..... Sure, but there's reasons why cheapest is not always the best decision! You must feel comfortable both materials and work are completed properly. My suggestion is to complete your due diligence and be prepared to be amazed at the current offerings of material sizes and styles. Don't be hesitant about alternative installation methods versus the traditional "drill a hole, insert the railing then fill with hydraulic cement". German and Mack Iron Works Rock! FYI, we refrained from selecting stainless steel even though it was considered maintenance free. The look is not only gaudy and a basic traditional design was non-existent. Materials used were "all" hollow-tube designs hence lag bolts and anchors were the only choice to secure. Wrought iron though NOT maintenance free requires repainting every few years but I find painting very therapeutic especially during Fall and Spring. I cannot speak for others but a nicely painted wrought iron fence or railing is way more attractive than chrome or stainless steel. YMMV!

After a hailstorm, small circular cracks appeared across the vinyl siding on the most exposed side…read moreof this house. The damage was easy to miss from the ground because many panels remained in place. Closer inspection showed fractured locking edges and several holes near the lower portions of the wall. The other elevations had been sheltered and did not show comparable damage. Replacing the complete building was unnecessary, but the original siding color and profile were no longer available. The owner chose to replace the affected elevation as one continuous section rather than scatter visibly different panels across it. Once the damaged siding came off, the weather-resistive barrier and sheathing were inspected. A few areas of torn housewrap were repaired, but the sheathing remained dry. New starter strips, corner trim, mounting blocks, and vinyl siding were then installed. The replacement panels were fastened with room for normal expansion and contraction. Exterior fixtures were removed and remounted through proper blocks instead of being screwed through the face of the siding. Broken vinyl fragments were collected from the planting beds and neighboring walkway. The unaffected elevations remained in place, while the repaired side finished with a consistent color and secure locking edges.

They pointed out one other issue that may need repair in the next year (a failing hinge), but said that it was fine for now, did not put pressure on fixing - just said to call when ready to get it repaired.
